Learning Design Sci Ed

2 Credits · Level: Graduate

This course is designed as an elective for the Master’s in Learning Design Program and for graduate students in Medical Center graduate programs (with permission of the faculty). It will focus on learning design and educational technology for teaching in the sciences, through a combination of seminar and studio classroom sessions designed to provide hands-on, team-based experience in learning design. Students will gain experience in use of learning management systems, audience response technology, blogging and discussion boards, hybrid learning and flipped classroom strategies, as well as other methodologies and platforms. In the studio portion of the course, groups of students will employ these methods and platforms to design a short course. They will also work toward articulating their personal teaching philosophies and establishing a teaching portfolio.
